Market for Nuclear Valves to Exceed $2.4 Billion In 2017
East Asian purchases of valves for nuclear power plants will boost the market
for valves in the nuclear industry to over $2.4 billion by 2017.
This is the conclusion in
Nuclear Power Plant
Valve Forecast and Analysis published by the
McIlvaine Company. In 2017 China
and other East Asian nuclear valve purchasers will spend $755 million.
This represents over 30 percent of the anticipated total purchases in 2017.
Western Europe expenditures will exceed 20 percent of the 2017 total
whereas NAFTA expenditures will be less than 15 percent.
The average nuclear power plant utilizes more than 5,000 valves.
Many different valve types are required.
Sizes range from those handling a few liters per minute to those which
control more than 100,000 gpm.
The majority of the purchases will be for existing power plants. Many
nuclear power plants are advanced in age. There is the need to replace
valves which have reached the end of their economic life.
There is also the need to replace valves due to tighter safety
requirements and new operating regimes. The stringency of regulations is
higher for valves within the nuclear island as opposed to those used for inlet
water and service outside the critical areas.
Most reactors currently planned are in the Asian region, with fast-growing
economies and rapidly-rising electricity demand.
Some countries with existing nuclear power programs (Argentina, Armenia, Brazil,
Bulgaria, Canada, China, Czech Republic, France, India, Pakistan,
Romania, Russia, Slovakia, South Korea, South Africa, Ukraine, UK, and USA) have
plans to build new power reactors (beyond those now under construction).
Approximately 150 power reactors with a total net capacity of some 16,000 MWe
are planned and over 300 more are proposed.
Energy security concerns and greenhouse constraints on coal and the high
cost of wind and solar have made nuclear power more attractive.
There are negative as well as positive factors in the growth potential.
There is heightened concern over safety due to the Fukushima accident and
the inability of the operator to quickly solve the problem. Some of the plants
now under construction are experiencing cost over runs.
The low gas prices in the U.S. are also having a negative effect. The
global warming initiative is showing signs of weakening as Australia has
eliminated its carbon tax and the U.S. congress is now controlled by those who
place a low priority on climate change.

GDP UPDATE HEADLINES
November 2014
AMERICAS
ASIA
EUROPE / AFRICA / MIDDLE EAST
AMERICAS
Mexico
Mexico’s economy expanded less than analysts estimated for the eighth time in 10
quarters as a rebound in growth stalled in September on weak domestic demand.
Gross domestic product rose 2.2% from a year earlier, compared with a 1.6%
expansion in the second quarter, the national statistics institute said. The
median estimate of 24 economists surveyed by Bloomberg was for growth of 2.3%.
The IGAE indicator, a proxy for GDP that was also reported today, fell 0.1% from
a month earlier in September, the second straight decline.
Banco de Mexico, led by Governor Agustin Carstens, cut its growth forecast range
this week, saying indicators of domestic demand such as consumer confidence
remain weak even as exports have picked up. Latin America’s second-largest
economy is struggling to rebound from 1.4% growth last year, the slowest
expansion since the 2009 recession.
“The economy has no momentum going into the fourth quarter,” Carlos Capistran,
the chief Mexico economist for Bank of America Corp. in Mexico City, said in an
e-mailed response to questions. “Services and industry remain weak.”…The
remaining text is not included in this sample.
ASIA
Thailand
Thailand cut its outlook for the fourth time this year after its economy grew
much less than expected in the July-September quarter, hit by a contraction in
exports and tourism.
The surprisingly weak outlook has raised doubts the junta can quickly turn the
economy around even after pledging to roll out infrastructure projects and other
steps to boost spending.
Southeast Asia's second-largest economy grew 1.1% in the third quarter from the
prior three months, and 0.6% from a year earlier, the National Economic and
Social Development Board (NESDB) said.
The remaining text is not included in this sample.
EUROPE / AFRICA / MIDDLE EAST
Eurozone
The 18-country Eurozone eked out only weak growth in the third quarter,
underlining how Europe is still struggling to escape its six-year slump.
Expectations have become so bleak lately that analysts welcomed the Eurozone’s
annualized growth rate of 0.6% in the last quarter as a positive surprise.
Germany barely grew, France grew but largely because companies built up
inventories, and Italy fell back into recession.
The bloc’s gross domestic product remains more than 2% below its level before
the 2008 global financial crisis—at a time when growth in other advanced
economies such as the U.S. and UK is finally strengthening.
The Eurozone economy expanded last quarter at a sluggish rate, underscoring
concerns that the region is stuck in a rut of declining investment and high
unemployment.
